Yesterday, Ashley and I were  feeling very stir-crazy.  Do you know that feeling I'm talking about - when you feel like you just have to get out of the house and DO SOMETHING?  We used to do that all the time, but with the price of gas going so high and with the economy the way it is, I think we tend to stay home a lot more often.  Anyway, yesterday we just HAD to find something to do.

We decided that it would be cheap entertainment to search the internet and find a somewhat-local state park that we could visit and explore.  The scenery was spectacular. We really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.  It was warm, but not roasting hot. 

The creek was just beautiful, though somewhat cool!  We all had fun wading in it.

Except, of course, for Ian, who stood along the side and screamed!  LOL

He was fine, though, as long as someone was holding him.

This was the first picture that we took of the girls:

When Gracie got down from the bridge, her very loose tooth got caught on Ashley's shirt~
it didn't come out, but it bled and bled, and Gracie cried and cried!
In this picture, you can see that crazy tooth!

I love this picture of the kiddoes looking at the creek:

Here's Ian, enjoying an Ian Taco! LOL
He's such a ladies man!

And some candid shots of Ian that Ash & I couldn't resist....

Yep, we had a good day.

I love outings like this. The photos are great. We are actually going this evening over to a spot in the national park that looks a lot like this. The river gets deeper and runs a little bit harder, but it reminds me of it. It's also a picnic area, and I'm hoping it's not too crowded, because the rest of the county is this week.
We've done Sea World a couple of times. The other warning you should give is how expensive it is! We went this last time, and you're right~ it's almost impossible to see all of the shows in one day. Maybe they planned it that way? : ) Wow. Wouldn't we love to do Discovery Cove? Well, I wish I could see your pictures.
We're headed out this weekend. I hope you have a blessed week.
